If you're simply trying to use a web-based tool to copy images to your server, you can run wget or curl from your apache/php/mysql server against the lighttpd server where the images live.

On the other hand, if you're trying to do something more production-y, you might need to clarify your question. Do you have a fat pipe between web/app server and storage server, and so want to cache from the front end? Do you have a post-production system pushing to the storage server, and want to publish new content out to a production site? Do you have too much image data to stage on your web/app front end, and need to do some tricky caching?

This is good, HTTP proxy is one of the best performing methods. Over internet HTTPS is just OK with self-signed certificate as well very secure with passwords.

Right now the images are on the web server too and I want to move all of them to storage server. My problem is... how can I link the storage server with the web server ?! I think I'll install NFS on storage server and mount it on web server. After that it should work uploading files directly to the storage server.
